Did you mean Follicle Depth?

Glossary Follicle Depth

distance from skin surface to hair follicle base

Follicle depth refers to the distance from the surface of the skin to the base of the hair follicle, where hair growth begins. This measurement is important for understanding hair growth patterns, diagnosing conditions like alopecia, and planning treatments such as hair transplants.

community Microneedling and miniaturized hair follicles depth

in Microneedling 8 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling at depths greater than 0.6 mm may damage miniaturized hair follicles, with 0.5 mm showing better results for hair regrowth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil enhances absorption, but caution is advised to avoid damaging follicles.

community Losing Hair from Microneedling?

4 upvotes 6 days ago

Microneedling can cause hair shedding due to follicle puncturing, especially when using a 1mm depth. Users suggest using a dermastamp with a depth of 0.6-1mm and caution against home microneedling to avoid damaging hair follicles.

community [Nov 2019] The peptide AC 2 isolated from Bacillus-treated Trapa japonica fruit extract rescues DHT (dihydrotestosterone)-treated human dermal papilla cells and mediates mTORC1 signaling for autophagy and apoptosis suppression

23 upvotes 6 years ago

A peptide from Japanese water chestnut fruit may help with hair loss by suppressing DHT's effect on hair follicle cell death, potentially serving as a finasteride alternative. The treatment's effectiveness and safety in humans remain uncertain.

community Has anyone tried Matrixyl 3000 topically for hair growth?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 3 years ago

Matrixyl 3000 is discussed as a potential topical treatment for hair growth, but concerns are raised about excess collagen production being a consequence of hair loss. The conversation suggests that androgen-induced miniaturization leads to hair follicle death and skin fibrosis.

community Is microneedling worth it when you're on dut and oral min?

in Microneedling 11 upvotes 6 months ago

Microneedling may not significantly enhance hair growth when combined with dutasteride and oral minoxidil, as its primary benefit is improving topical absorption. Some users suggest using a 1.5mm depth for potential follicle stimulation, but results and effectiveness vary.
